Benefit for CM Casar Wednesday
Monday, June 8, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
Though City Council Member Greg Casar won his District 4 seat with almost 65 percent of the vote, continued protests by his opponent, Laura Pressley, have led to big legal fees for Casar. This Wednesday, his supporters are throwing a benefit to help offset his legal costs, which have added up to more than $100,000 to date. The event will take place on June 10, from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the Hangar Lounge. More information can be found on Facebook.
